10 days out sick. After Warm ups, repeated part of last workout

[Eric Schmidt]

Still feel like doo-doo but warmed up and did

S-235x5x3.

Attempted to press after warming up and couldn't complete set 1. Back at it on Monday, hopefully with better results.

Sometimes one works through illness. Sometimes one must rest. It's mostly guesswork. Have you ever worked with a SS coach. They can give a second opinion.

Why do I need a second opinion when I feel shitty and would rather rest than train that day?
Explain what you mean by “have you ever worked with a SS coach?”

[Eric Schmidt]
